    Well the first three pics are of the same weld and it could use a more consistant travel rate. You need to let your puddle build a little more at the start and move a little faster where it got fat in the middle.The second weld looked like you didn't clean the material.No matter what anyone says, welding likes clean. The less contamanites(sp?)you introduce into the mix, the better.
